36 BALCH— ART AND ETHNOLOGY. [April 33, 



2. Art as a whole has not been studied and examined enough 

 as yet. 



3. The art of the whole world should be studied from an esthetic 

 point of view not only locally and individually, but in its broadest 

 relations, in its resemblances and its differences. This branch of 

 science might well be called comparative art. 



4. Comparative art, that is the study of the relations in the art 

 of the world, must be done from the esthetic standpoint by persons 

 who are trained art critics. 



5. Comparative art, properly worked out, may be expected to 

 throw much light on the story of man.
